Did they fix the fools who think they are skilled put steady aim + grip onto a machine gun and run around holding down the trigger?

I was in the same boat, I just got the game last week, get to lvl 4 and create this "noob" class which will let you compete and get a feel for the maps. I'm lvl 20 now and starting to experiment more.......only to find that I am apperently the worse smg/uzi gunman in the world (seriously how the fuck do you play with this weapon)
Using a light machine gun to mow down some idiot hiding behind a gyproc wall.....priceless

Bandolier now gives you a bunch of extra pistol rounds as well it seems.
And YES and the space at the bottom of the matchmaking playlist. Looks like they will add more in the future.
It's quite stupid, but I'm kinda hoping for a mercenary objective playlist. I have no idea why I want to play team objective types while not playing like a team but whatever. I can't get my friends who have COD4 to do some team tactical.
Oh, and I think you can mute from the scoreboard. I haven't tested it, but I'm pretty sure that's in, even though it wasn't in the patch notes.

Lol at the new cars/boxe placments etc.
Online is much more stable now.

I just played some with the patch. Sniping is much improved. Every shot that seemed good actually registered as a hit. The "host has ended match" i still present (in case the host migration fix description left any doubt). Last stand seems downgraded. Maybe it was the people I was playing against, but almost every time I got into last stand, I wasn't able to even get a single shot off. In the past I could usually get two or three.

Good to hear about the scopes, maybe I can actually be effective with the dragunov now.

Thx. Sigh...
WTF!?!? The patch did NOT benefit me at all. Actually, it was the complete oppostie. Two major problems for me now that I never had any problems or issues with prior to the patch:
1. It now takes a billion years for people to join. At the time I write this, it's now been 15 minutes since I hit "find match", and NO ONE has entered.
2. Lag! I never experienced any major issues with lagging prior to downloading this patch. But now it's a lag fiest galore. The lag is definitely over 1 second. Which is seriously bad. Shotting people is hard.
Anyone else who's experience this?

As you can see, I spread most of the love between the 3 classes above. It's a variety of digital/red/blue camoes for the most part, with the GOLD M60 being my claim to fame. The SAW is where my heart is at, though. For those of you who would diss LMGs as not needing skill, I'd like to point out that they have way many more cons than other weapons. Also, suck a d*ck!
I have the .50 Cal Barrett, but rarely use it (20? kills). I dislike the sniper rifles, thoug hI'll eventually have to start using them.
I just started using the shotguns, thought I would hate them, but now I'm a freaking monster with them.. The semi-auto anyway. I have the grip on it with stopping power and accuracy from the hip. Deadly.. and it feels so good when you fell the THUD from the impact.

I tried it. The US. Had no problems.

will gently cradle you as time slowly ticks away.
The last time I tried (10-20 minutes ago) I can't get online (PS3, UK PSN account w/ NTSC UC game). Hopefully they're just patching some shit up right now, I'll try again after dinner.
Add a silencer with UAV Jammer and Dead Silence and you've got the best class there is.
IMO the only people who bitch "ure a noob becuz u use Perk X/Y/Z" are the true noobs. Martyrdom is good for a few things, one of which is keeping players on their toes.

I actually don't get many kills with martyrdom anymore, which is why I don't buy the "noobs use it" schtick. The vets know how to avoid it. It's more like noobs are the ones get killed by it. I used to have it on 4 classes, now I only have it on 1, which I use to rush headquarters and try to clear out 2 or 3 people.

I used to cycle between Last Stand and Martyrdom, but I tend to use Dead Silence and Deep Impact more due to their "persistent effectiveness."
I have good memories of rushing the corridor on Bog with Martyrdom w/ Sonic boom on Ground War TDM.

I had three fucking "host ended" within five minutes today. Heck, I almost wish I'd been thrown out so I would have searched an entirely new game instead of sticking in that one where everyone seemed to leave after one minute of gaming

This new patch sucks ass. I am soo pissed.
First it kicks me out saying ' failed to recieve socket or something' then when I come to join another game it makes me join the same game I got kicked out of, and now it seems that everybody is using the m16 and the snipers more.
Plus at WTF at the last 4 games, I had to pull out 30kills average and we still lost every game, match me up against some better fucking players.

Well I guess I won't bother then =P
*puts dust back on*
*puts dust back on*
I tried the 360 patch. I like the host migration, but sometimes it pisses me off, because I'm playing with some Europeans (I live in Europe) having a good connection, but sometimes it will put as host the only American person in the lobby. Besides that, I'm happy with it; the game really needed this.
The sniper fix is awesome. Holy shit, I can't even believe some of the sniper shots I've managed to pull off. Before, I had to concentrate with each shot if I was hoping to hit something, but now I can do headshots without even holding my breath. It's awesome. I guess I'm gonna be playing as a sniper for a very long time.
The rest is not that special to me. Haven't really noticed an improvement on the ACOGs, and I still suck with them as much as I did before the patch. The new kill-cams are cool, but I play mostly on Hardcore, so I'm not going to see them very often. And I guess that's it, unless I'm forgetting something.
Overall, good patch. I'm happy with it.

Seriously though I am done with this game.

Personally, I thought it was useless being a sniper before. I always hit better with the M16, at least up till now. I mean, you could be pointing right at someone sitting still and miss two shots in a row.

I'm around 1.28 KDR now. But then again, I've played a lot of hardcore search & destroy.
This is what I was scared of. You could do things like get kills with the sniper without holding your breath, but it took practice. Now it sounds like something that is easy to do. Anyone remember what the beta was like when the sniper was insanely accurate? Overgrown was horseshit because dudes would run around with their sniper out and no scope no problem. Shit, near the end of the beta there were people running around vacant with snipers.SMZC said:
Game will turn into a slow campfest now and will be overrun by snipers and acog m16/G3 and maybe even acog m14.

I've never really had any issues with snipers -- usually they've got their sweet spots where they lurk, so it's kind of easy finding them or avoiding. The only map where I sometimes find them being a bit annoying and hard to spot is on Block.

We'll see, but the sniper rifle should be balanced around the bullets actually hitting the crosshairs. It may or may not be unbalanced now, but they should be tweaking the damage, recoil etc. from a point where the bullets, first and foremost, go straight.

Man, have you even played with the new patch yet? Give it some time. I think it may take more than a day to see the results of this attempt to balance the game.

By the way, is this the first update? I had the feeling a couple of weeks ago that there's been some modifications done to like the night vision and some of the textures on the character models?
